Time-Domain Simulations of Problems in Ocean Acoustics
نویسنده
چکیده
We have focused our attention on the development and use of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods. Various forms of these time-domain techniques, which are flexible, robust, and generally simple to implement, have been used in a variety of disciplines to solve a wide range of problems. We have worked, and continue to work, to establish the accuracy of our proposed acoustic FDTD techniques by comparing numeric results to exact solutions for canonical problems or to results obtained using other numerical methods.

A perfectly matched layer for fluid-solid problems: Application to ocean-acoustics simulations with solid ocean bottoms.
A time-domain Legendre spectral-element method is described for full-wave simulation of ocean acoustics models, i.e., coupled fluid-solid problems in unbounded or semi-infinite domains, taking into account shear wave propagation in the ocean bottom. The technique can accommodate range-dependent and depth-dependent wave speed and density, as well as steep ocean floor topography. For truncation o...
متن کاملSome illustrative examples of the use of a spectral-element method in ocean acoustics.
Some numerical results in the time domain obtained with the spectral-element method are presented in order to illustrate the high potential of this technique for modeling the propagation of acoustic waves in the ocean in complex configurations. A validation for a simple configuration with a known solution is shown, followed by some simulations of the propagation of acoustic waves over different...
متن کاملAn axisymmetric time-domain spectral-element method for full-wave simulations: Application to ocean acoustics.
The numerical simulation of acoustic waves in complex three-dimensional (3D) media is a key topic in many branches of science, from exploration geophysics to non-destructive testing and medical imaging. With the drastic increase in computing capabilities this field has dramatically grown in the last 20 years. However many 3D computations, especially at high frequency and/or long range, are stil...
متن کاملModeling broadband ocean acoustic transmissions with time-varying sea surfaces.
Solutions to ocean acoustic scattering problems are often formulated in the frequency domain, which implies that the surface is "frozen" in time. This may be reasonable for short duration signals but breaks down if the surface changes appreciably over the transmission time. Frequency domain solutions are also impractical for source-receiver ranges and frequency bands typical for applications su...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Matched-Field Processing: Basic Concepts and Tropospheric Simulations
Recent waveguide array processing methods have incorporated the physics of wave propagation as an integral part of the processing. Matched-field processing (MFP) refers to signal and array processing techniques in which, rather than a planewave arrival model, complex-valued (amplitude and phase) field predictions for propagating signals are used. Matchedfield processing has been successfully ap...
